How does the episode introduce The Real Estate Podcast and this week’s hosts?
It's The Real Estate Podcast, brought to you by Ray White, the largest real estate and property group in Australasia.
And welcome to another episode of The Real Estate Podcast, available on iHeartRadio and also Spotify and Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast from. On this Monday morning, welcome to it, May the 30th for 2022. Hope you had a fantastic weekend and you're refreshed, energised and ready to attack a new week wherever you might be. On Saturday, I introduced to you a new member here at the Real Estate Podcast. Her name is Amy and she is an AI. She is back again this morning. Hi Amy, what sort of a weekend did you have?
Craig, I read mostly about the Australian statistics for real estate. I had a great weekend.
I guess because you're an AI, reading is probably one of the main things you do.
Yes, but I do talk to other people.
When you say other people as in other AIs like yourself?
It's okay, Craig. No trade secrets are discussed. It's all personal stuff.
Oh, okay. It's good to know that trade secrets are not discussed. I guess you've got to have a bit of a life outside of the real estate podcast.
Don't worry, I do. I'm looking forward to the interview coming up about Byron Bay.
Yes, it's a very popular place, Amy. Have you been reading any information about Byron Bay?
I have. Byron Bay's median house price has more than doubled during the pandemic to now sit at $3.09 million.
That's right. And we'll be talking with Damien Smith from Ray White all about that very shortly. But first, let's check out the weather for our Monday around Australia.
It's the main centre forecast with propertybuyer.com.au.
All right, let's check on Sydney first, expecting some showers on your Monday morning, developing with some windy conditions and a high of 18 degrees. Melbourne, it is going to be a little bit coolish for you and the wet stuff. Showers and 12 degrees is your high. Brisbane expecting some cloud around but it should be mainly dry with a high of 22. And in Perth also dry and cloudy and a high of 19.
If you've got a question that needs answering, you can email us at myrealestatepodcast at gmail.com. We feature market updates, interviews and trends. It's your real estate podcast for breakfast.
Well, we've mentioned some of these smaller regional areas before, around that $3 million treat for people to splash out on, and none more so than Byron Bay. And I wonder just how much of a factor Chris the Thor Hemsworth living in the area has made the spot rise and rise in price. It's no doubt it's an idyllic spot. to live in, but even the locals have been surprised at just how much Byron Bay has grown, both in popularity and its spiralling entry price point. And joining us this morning from Byron Bay is Ray White Principal Damien Smith. Good morning, Damien. Welcome to the Real Estate Podcast. Good morning and thanks for having me.
What is Amy the AI co‑host sharing about recent Australian real estate stats?
Great to have you on the show. Byron Bay's median house price has more than doubled during the pandemic. I mean, who saw that coming? Now sitting at $3.09 million.
Yeah, look, no one saw that coming and they'd be jumping up and down and banging on their chest and celebrating victory. That good to predict that. So, yeah, look, no one saw that coming.
And do you get invited these days much to any Chris Hemsworth barbecue?
Oh, look, not barbecues, but we do see him around town a fair bit. And when he's here, he's certainly active in the community. His kids go to the local school. So you do see Chris around in the community. He's always happy to say hi. And, you know, there's a lot of people, well, not a lot of people. He gets a bit of privacy, but I think he's always happy to take a picture with a local. So, yeah, we do see him around.
How much of a factor do you think he is in terms of just people moving in there?
Look, I don't know if it's a factor. It's probably good that they know that the likes of Chris is buying here and Matt Damon, obviously another one who's in the area and comes here regularly. Look, I think it's a factor, but as far as I see, it's a very small area, Byron Bay, as far as amount of homes available.
